tonight, guns in america, the number one issue in america a week after the mass shooting in sandy hook. the nra breaks its silence. president obama and communities all over america paused in a moment of silence. president obama is calling for a ban on assault weapons. today, the nra offered a rather different solution. publicly breaking the silence. the silence for the first time since the massacre, the nra proposed a sweeping plan to have armed guards at every school in the nation. >> the truth is our society is populated by an unknown number of genuine monsters. people that are so deranged, so evil, so possessed by voices and driven by demons that no sane person can ever possibly comprehend them. they walk among us every single day. and does anybody really believe that the next adam lanza isn't planning his attack on a school? since when did a gun automatically become a bad word? a gun in the hands of a secret service agent protecting our president isn't a bad word. a gun in the hands of a soldier protecting the united states of america isn't a bad word. and when you hear your glass

shooting that shattered this quiet new england town is also reignited ongoing debate about the gun laws in america. everyone is just talking about that right now. our white house correspondent briana kee brianna keilar has more. >> reporter: a promise from president obama to tackle gun violence. >> we're going to have to come together and take meaningful action to prevent more tragedies like this, regardless of the politics. >> reporter: what exactly does he mean by meaningful action? critics of the president's record on the issue are pressing for specific proposals. new york mayor michael bloomberg said calling for meaningful action is not enough. we need immediate act action. we heard all the rhetoric before. what we have not seen is leadership. not from the white house and not from congress. gun violence has not been a priority for the obama administration. as he ran for president in 2008, he supported running a ban on assault weapons. >> keeping ak 47s out of the hands of criminals. >> reporter: once selected, he did not make good on his campaign pledge. the brady campaign to prevent gun viole

i think we all know that every income tax filer in america is going to pay higher rates come january 1 unless congress acts. so i believe it is important that we protect as many american taxpayers as we can. and our plan b would protect american taxpayers who make $1 million or less and have all of their current rates extended. >> reporter: as we were talking, the white house officially released the statement rejecting the so-called plan b legislation and that is not a surprise because it is in keeping with what we have heard from democrats. senior democrats who laughed this off as a joke. one senior democrat said this is a punch line, not a compromise. because they believe that the president in recent days has moved more towards the speaker than even many in the president's own party want him to and that the speaker simply can't deal with the pressure that he is getting from fellow republicans. there are certainly a lot of issues going on here but right now it looks like the republicans are going to push forward on taking this vote probably on thursday and by all accounts it does no

>> i think we should ask the question, why is america 30% white guys and 70% of the mass shootings in the last decades have been at the hands of white guys. i'm not saying we should racially profile white guys. but i do think it's interesting to note that, had the shooters, had 70% of mass shooters been, let's say arabs, or african-american men, i think the conversation right now would be a very different conversation where we'd be having a much less nuanced, a much uglier conversation. why are 0% of these mass shootings at the hands of white men? not to say they should be racially profiled but to ask the question, why is the composite so similar? let's explore that, because it's an important question in light of a political climate right now where there's a lot of what i call the white victimization narrative out there. the idea that white people are being kept down and oppressed, does this have anything to do with this? i think it's worth asking the question. >> if you try to make a profile, how many people are going to fit that profile? at least 500,000. maybe 4 or 5 million people

so what once provided a high return is now an utter failure which makes america a tax bargain. but that is going to change, too, richard. so the solution is to move to canada where taxes are low, government offerings are high. you, sir, can come and live with me and sleep on my sofa. >> and here we go. ali velshi, who ever thought this was going to be the socialism of the business world. but there we saw him in his true colors. the truth of the matter is as one famous judge in britain once said, it is every man's duty to avoid paying taxes. it is no man's duty, no man's duty to evade paying them. and that is the threshold upon which we seek. however, bearing in mind there are deficits that have to be covered. and there are spending that has to be reached. and in that environment, there is no other alternative but for higher taxes. do you think europeans like paying 40%, 50% taxes? but the alternative is not nearly so pleasant. i've just been to iceland, high taxes, high rate of living. and an economy that is actually recovering better than anywhere else from the financial crisi
